Rural tourism increases income sources for rural residents, reduces rural population outflow, and preserves cultural traditions. This chapter considers development of agrotourism in a rural region like the Omsk region, and agrotourism potential of each Omsk district is assessed. To assess the agrotourism potential, integral and rating indicators were calculated using secondary data and the assessment of 40 experts. The analysis allowed a rating of Omsk's municipal districts. Based on the results, the Southern forest-steppe zone has the highest potential for the development of agrotourism. Several other districts present good conditions to increase the potential of agrotourism development. Some districts are distinct, but conditions for the development of agrotourism exist in all areas of the Omsk region.

Recent urbanization of central parts of Addis Ababa has necessitated the use of deep excavations for the foundation of high-rise buildings and related infrastructure projects. The conditions of the subsoil, the safety of neighboring structures, groundwater conditions, experience by contractors, working space, the effect of vibration, and noise must be considered for the choice of deep excavation support system. Besides, economic factors, local availability of equipment, and technical staff are also governing factors for choosing an appropriate shoring technique. The study focused on the major construction methods and techniques of shoring works in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Only four projects utilized shoring construction techniques from the total number of high-rise buildings available in the City. The target population included a minimum of twenty respondents from the four construction sites constructed around Beherawi, Lideta sub-city in Addis Ababa. Two of the projects were supervised by Specialists from Varnero Foundation and Meseret Foundation PLC. Primary and secondary data are gathered to support the objective of the study. All the frequency distribution, Reliability, and Pearson correlation were analyzed using SPSS. All groups of factors that affect shoring construction were ranked using the Relative Importance Index (RII). Results indicated that geotechnical investigation, building type, and excavation depth were the major factors with an RII value of 0.89 and 0.86, respectively. Besides, the analyses showed that were strong correlations between the different factors within each group of factors in undertaking the shoring construction. Hence, it is suggested to take a deep and detailed sub-soil investigation to determine the suitability of shoring materials, appropriate construction methods, and techniques.

Characteristic Features

В Средней Азии авторское ювелирное искусство возникает в 1970-1980-х гг. Оно пришло на смену народному традиционному. В статье исследуются характерные признаки традиционного и современного авторского (студийного) ювелирного искусства. Среди выделенных свойств самыми важными являются объем информации и свобода выбора. Сегодня сформировались три основных стилистических направления, для каждого из них характерно определенное отношение к традиционным и новым материалам. Первое - традиционная школа, в рамках которой мастера копируют старинные украшения, используя традиционные материалы. Второе - этнический стиль, главная задача которого не копирование старых форм, а создание узнаваемого образа, связанного с национальной культурой. При переходе на классическую технику филиграни, выбирая материалы, ювелиры следуют своим эстетическим представлениям и вкусам потребителя. Третье - современный авторский стиль, основанный на индивидуальном восприятии национальной культуры. В авангардных авторских работах художник свободно обращается с новыми для ювелирного искусства материалами, используя дерево, кожу, войлок, кость, шелк. In Central Asia, modern studio jewelry art came to life in the late 1970s and 1980s. It replaced traditional folk jewelry. It this article the author investigates the characteristic features of both traditional and modern jewelry. She singles out the main difference between a folk craftsman and a modern artist-jeweler as the latter’s greater freedom of creative choice; while the folk craftsman was circumscribed by tradition and limited information, modern jewelers who position themselves as artists strive to create something unique and able to be copyrighted. Today there are three main trends in the art of Central Asian jewelry that demonstrate specific uses of both traditional and new materials. The first one, that may be called “traditional school,” practices the copying of old forms, techniques and materials. Another group of artists work in the “ethnic style,” creating images inspired by traditional culture but not copying old forms or decorative motifs. They use traditional filigree techniques in order to express their artistic imagination as well as satisfy the needs and tastes of their customers. The third, “avant-garde,” group of contemporary jewelers work in an original style based on personal interpretations of local cultural traditions. They explore new materials, such as wood, leather, felt, silk and animal bone that were never used before in local jewelry.

Hinduism is one of the most ancient religions of the world originated in the Subcontinent. This religion has always been of a significant value in the history of world religions. The subcontinent has been the birth place of many Dharmic Religions like Buddhism and Jainism, as well as it has been a center of many Abrahamic Religions such as Christianity and Islam. The Interaction between the Muslims and the ancient people of subcontinent began right after the migration of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم in Madinah. Therefore, the Muslim scholars tended to study the religion of Indian people and their life style. Abu Rehan Alberuni was the first person who initiated Indology, the study of indo religions. He wrote an encyclopedic book من ماللہند تحقیق فی کتاب" .مقالہ مقبولہ ومردود" After Al-Beruni, the Hinduism became a subject of research for the muslim scholars. Many Muslim scholars like Maulana Ubaid Ullah, Dr. Meher Abdulhaq, Maulana Shams Naveed, Dr. Zakir Naik and Muhammad Shariq have profound academic works on Hinduism. Therefore, in this article the views of these thinkers and understanding of Hinduism will be reviewed.
